CARDIFF: School officials approve 2012-13 budget

Cardiff School District trustees approved a budget earlier this month for the 2012-13 fiscal year that's very similar to the district's spending plan over the last couple of years, but with slightly less revenue.

Here are selected details:

Revenue: $6.8 million, down 4 percent from 2011-12 and 6 percent from 2010-11.

Ending reserves: $1.7 million, down 6 percent from 2011-12 but the same as in 2010-11.

Per pupil spending: $8,882, down 1 percent from 2011-12 and 2 percent from 2010-11.
